In the waters off WA’s North West Cape between the months of March and July 2009 there has been a rather unusual number of whale sharks seen in the area, these gentle giants can grow between 12 to 18 metres in size.

This season has been especially good for the whale shark tours operating out of Exmouth and Coral Bay.

Ocean Eco Adventures can offer one of the best day tours for whale shark encounters with its own spotter plane.

You can enjoy an encounter with a whale shark snorkelling. The sharks can be playful with a strong personalitiy and clear intelligence, they can interact with the swimmers.

The sharks are definitely the stars of the show on these tours and all the crew do offer a high standard of service.
